My Carpenter 240 build

[Jvheli]

just my opinion
if i was doing my clutches i would just use about 1/2 of the springs so as to give it a little boast.
for example if using two spring place them opposite of each other. if three in thirds ect

So your saying put in three Carpenter springs and two stock spings? I think iirc there are only 5, so it cant be done evenly....

I would think that u could use 3 (2 then across 1)would work OR 2 ACROSS FROM EACH OTHER. sorry caps

Herman,
Wouldn't this pressure difference cause uneven application of the plate?

I have the carp springs and do not notice much a difference from my other rocket with stock springs but then again my hands get up to no good every day

Use all the same springs for equal tension on the spring towers. No matter what the brand. Period end of discussion!!!!!

Lol. Hes kinda direct! I was planning on just using whats in the kit. I can always change springs later if I dont like it.

Christmas came late for me, but I finally have everything back!

@R-III-R Turbo mentioned to check for swarf. There was some in my coolant passages too, this is NOT from Carpenters head work. The chips from head porting are very small.

Also, the APE tensioner is now black, which saved me having it made black!

What have you guys done with the secondary throttle plates? Mine are still there, doing nothing.

Remove & toss.
Are you up and running yet?
